Research Notes:
abundant evidence exists to prove that Dunbeath's daughter Marion was a
legitimate child of his first marriage to Marion of the Isles. Based on her
favored treatment in the testament, the statements of the early Scottish
genealogists, and the fact that she married the powerful Earl of Caithness and
Orkney, the conclusion that Marjory was also marion's daughter seemed
unexceptionable. But in fact the same evidence which proves that Marion was a
legitimate daughter proves that Marjory was not. [Ref: MacEwen 7Countesses
Caithness p86]
Marion being sole heir of Dunbeath's marriage to Marion of the Isles is proven
by the grant of 24 Oct 1439 by the Earl of Ross to his brother-in-law and
sister and their heirs the lands of Dunbeath and Reay, and an inquest at
Inverness finding that Marion was the sole heir to these lands. [Ref: MacEwen
7Countesses Caithness p87]
grant of 13 Aug 1449 by John, Earl of Ross and Lord of the Isles, of the
lands of Easter Kindeace, to Dunbeath and his heirs general (not to his heirs
by Marion). These lands were also inherited by Marion alone. Therefore
Marjorie was not a legitimate daughter [Ref: MacEwen 7Countesses Caithness
p87]
mistress of William Sutherland prior to their marriage; indications are
that at least three children (Oliver, William, and Catherine) were born
in the early 1450s [Ref: MacEwen 7Countesses Caithness p89]
